Council reviewed the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities' report on <br />council salaries. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that comparing Ramsey to other communities of <br />comparable population is not always a fair comparison as Ramsey is growing <br />and developing and comparable cities may be more established with not so <br />many activities that need their council's attention. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox agreed that Ramsey's council is much more involved than <br />those of other cities because of the heavy growth taking place and the <br />limited amount of staff. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich noted that there is a proposed ordinance regarding <br />council salaries; it can be introduced and adopted but it will not become <br />effective until after the next election. <br /> <br />Council tabled action on this case until the next regular Council meeting. <br /> <br />Discuss Need To Require Notification Of-Pipeline Locat£o~s: <br /> <br />Council responded to the questions on a survey being taken by League of <br />Minnesota Cities regarding cities' preference on location of pipelines. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox requested that City Administrator Hartley research <br />whether or not obtaining a conditional use permit from the City would be <br />required for installation of pipelines. <br /> <br />Request For Economic Development Intern Position: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that the Economic Development Commission has requested a <br />college intern be hired to complete certain tasks in the effort to obtain <br />star city designation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he has recently talked to Paul Fournier who <br />assisted New Brighton in attaining their star city designation. <br />Councilmember Cox suggested that Mr. Fournier be approached regarding how <br />much he would charge for his services to assist Ramsey in the same effort. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Pearson <br />directing City Staff to contact Mr. Paul Fournier to determine if he is <br />interested in working on Ramsey's star city tasks and how much he would <br />charge for his services. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Mr. Hartley requested Council's approval to search for <br />an economic development intern if Mr. Fournier declines.
